Woodstock House and Estate is a ruined Georgian house and estate located near Inistioge, County Kilkenny, Ireland, on the west bank of the River Nore. The Ladies of Llangollen story began here and Mary Tighe died here. The house was destroyed by presumed arson after it was used a billet by the British army during the Irish War of Independence.
The house is still a ruin but the gardens are open to the public.
